Introduction

The global shift towards mandatory electronic invoicing and Continuous Transaction Controls (CTCs) presents an unprecedented opportunity for tax administrations. While initial adoption focuses on standardizing compliance and reducing the VAT gap, the true potential lies dormant within the data itself. The real-time, structured transactional data generated by national e-invoicing platforms is more than a compliance tool—it is a powerful source of economic intelligence.

This session is designed for tax authorities and their operational divisions. It will explore how to move beyond simple data collection to advanced analytics. The webinar aims to equip tax administrations with the knowledge to leverage their e-invoicing ecosystems for real-time risk profiling, sophisticated fraud detection, and enhanced audit selection, transforming the agency from a reactive auditor into a proactive guardian of fiscal integrity.
